Select a supplier for a new Purchase Order

When you invoke the New Purchase Order command you will be prompted to select a supplier from the contacts database. Enter criteria to search for the required contact. If the Supplier is not already in the Contacts database use the Cancel button to cancel selecting from existing contacts. You will be prompted to create a new contact record for the Supplier.

If the contact you select is not already a designated Supplier you are prompted to create a new Supplier record and enter Supplier specific information. Enter as much information as possible here about the supplier as this information is used as defaults in all future dealings with this supplier.

If this Supplier has an existing Order that is still active you are warned and prompted to lock/deactivate it or to use this to add the items to.
